Many of you may already be aware of the big fight the Berlin Local of the Free Workers Union (FAU-IWA) is now engaged. What started as a single workplace struggle has turned into one of national
importance for all German workers who struggle for independent, membership controlled unionism.
For those of you who are not aware of this struggle, background information can be found on the FAU website http://www.fau.org/verbot

If members of your organization can be encouraged to send protest emails (see below) that would be great. If your organization can send one as well, that would also be important. We are encouraging as many emails as possible. There is a lot at issue here that goes beyond the struggle of one small group of workers against a boss. To a large measure, the future of indpendent working class self-organization is one the line in Germany.

The Polish Syndicalists of the ZSP have set up an email protest thingy which will make it easier for those who haven't already sent a protest:

The W.S.A. and its previous groups has had a more than 30 year relationship with the FAU and they have always been decent, honest and non-sectarian comrades and would always stand in solidarity with others. It's our turn to stand in solidarity with them. Any and all help would be most appreicated.
